He was found with over 60 bruises to his head, face and body, with a toxicology report also concluding he had nine times the fatal limit of anti-depressants in his system. His mother Claire Scanlon, 38, claimed he had fallen down stepladders and had been "running around with the dog" just 20 minutes before reporting him unresponsive. But she was today found guilty of murder following a trial at Minshull Street Crown Court in Manchester. A police investigation launched following Dylan's death revealed a large number of 'angry' voicemails to her ex-partner Gary Keenan. In the voicemail messages, she said he had left her for another woman while she struggled to live "emotionally, practically and financially" as a single mum. Scanlon was "very angry and depressed" following the breakdown of the relationship and, in one voicemail, she said: "I promise you, you won't see him again. You'll see. Bye. Go and enjoy your life." Dylan was born in October 2016, but Scanlon and Mr Keenan's relationship broke down in 2020 and Mr Keenan moved out. 3 Little Dylan was found with over 60 bruises to his head, face and body Credit: Supplied){kind=link}
